Southern California Labrador Retriever Rescue, Inc. 4654 East Ave S #108, Palmdale, CA 93552 Phone: 888-554-ALAB, E-mail: sclrr@sclrr.org The following dogs are currently available (August 2011): |
 |
Kennie: He was an owner turn-in when they moved. He is living with his Rottie foster sister and his foster parents. He walks well on a leash, he is housetrained and knows "sit." He is a calm boy in the house, but he still has great energy to enjoy his walks and playtime with his foster sister. He lives with a cat, but likes to chase it, so probably best in a home with no cats. He is a VERY SWEET boy! He is so mellow and so easy to walk and hang with. We have heard him bark only once, and he loves other dogs. He is very dog and people friendly! Kennie is a love!! Phone: 888-554-ALAB, E-mail: sclrr@sclrr.org |
 |
Hendrix: Hendrix is a super lovable guy who was a stray from the Pasadena Humane Society. He is great with kids, cats, dogs, and all people. He has a very friendly personality and LOVES to fetch. He will bring it right back to you and drop it. He knows sit and has a pretty good down. He's got a good bit of energy for a 10 year old, so he will be a good walking companion. He is housebroken and crate trained, up to date on shots and is microchipped. Phone: 888-554-ALAB, E-mail: sclrr@sclrr.org |
 |
Sir Duke: Duke is energetic and happy. House trained and crate trained and doesn't chew, dig or destroy things. He is very people oriented. We've never seen him NOT wag his tail and be friendly with everyone. Duke is very smart and has been through basic obedience training. He responds well with great willingness to please his family. Duke knows heel, sit, down, stay, come, leave it, back up, lie down (to go in crate) and miscellaneous other commands. He truly is an older dog that has learned new tricks! He would do best as an only dog or with a submissive female. Sorry, no cats or small dogs for Duke. If you'd like more information or would like to meet Duke, please call Julie @ 818-429-9133 or email juliehaunani@gmail.comnt> |

Meet handsome George (A283821) at the Pasadena Humane Society. He is a Miniature Poodle mix in need of a home now! George is 12 years old and would love a place to live out his golden years.

"Hi, my name is Samantha - or 'Sammy' for short. I'm a lovely 10-year-old lady who is looking for her new home. My family split up and were unable to take me with them. I have a very sweet personality and I am very laid back. Lying around at your feet is something I'm looking forward to doing. I do need to take a few pounds off - so hopefully we can take some nice leisurely walks around your neighborhood so that I get some regular exercise and can stop and sniff the flowers. I'm house-trained and like other dogs, cats and children. If you want to help a gal in need, then I'm the gal for you......" E-mail: dogbertdharma@hotmail.com |
